What can YOU do NOW:
1. Write your letter (addresses available by scrolling down to the post “Send Your Letters – Your Opinion Counts”)
2. To sign our petition go to: www.thepetitionsite.com/1/wheres-my-midwife
3. Join our events found at www.WheresMyMidwife.org
What we hope to accomplish:
1. New Hanover Regional Medical Center needs to change their policy on midwifery care to a more open and accessible one. This is why we are picketing them and will remain doing so until they set a time and date to meet with us! (See the bog post below that shows the letter sent to Dr. Cooper)
2. We want a free-standing birth center in Wilmington. All the proceeds of the “Where’s My Midwife?” fundraisers will go towards this goal.
3. We want licensure for CPM’s (Certified Professional Midwives) to practice in our State. Join www.NCFOM.org, North Carolina Friends of Midwives.
Furthermore, the right of independent practice for CNM’s (Certified Nurse Midwives) is needed in our State.

I’m very interested in helping to form a free-standing birth center. I’m currently an RN here and have a strong desire to become a CNM, however only want to work here if there’s a birthing center. Please let me know what I can do or where Wilmington stands with the progress of this much-needed establishment!!
Thanks!
